TRIDENT have announced that Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak will be racing for the team at the final round of the season in Yas Marina.

Inthraphuvasak, who is already confirmed to be racing in Formula 2 next year, will make his debut in the Championship this weekend.

The Thai driver is stepping up after an impressive season in Formula 3 where he won three races and finished seventh in the Drivers’ Standings.

Inthraphuvasak will now get his first chance to race in F2 machinery and he is grateful to get the opportunity to do so with TRIDENT.

“I'm really excited to be racing in the final round of the FIA Formula 2 Championship with Trident Motorsport,” said Inthraphuvasak. It's a great opportunity, and I want to thank everyone who made it possible. I'm looking forward to making the most of this weekend and preparing as best I can for next season.”

TRIDENT Team Manager Giacomo Ricci also added: “We are pleased to be able to field Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak in the final round of the FIA Formula 2 Championship season. I consider him one of the most talented drivers we have seen in the FIA Formula 3 Championship this year. We had the opportunity to see Tasanapol's skills in the Macau Grand Prix, where he raced with us and immediately proved to be fast and competitive. Although he is making his debut in the category, I am sure he can also do well on the Yas Marina circuit.”
